La Fontaine: Fabeln

Abstract

Here is the German version of a 1945 French book, also published by Editions Novos S.A. in Lausanne. It is twelve years since I found the French original. As I wrote then, this is a large softbound volume, 9½ x 10½, with a title-page, 20 pages of fables, and a T of C at the back. Nineteen fables are presented. The illustrations, some in black-and-white and some in color, are simple and appropriate. The book is in good condition. Among the best illustrations is the two-page spread for Le Coche et la Mouche near the center of the book.
